The Sandbox

GWOT hot wash, straight from the wire

Welcome to The Sandbox, a forum for service members who have served or are currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, returned vets, spouses and caregivers. The Sandbox's focus is not on policy and partisanship (go to our Blowback page for that), but on the unclassified details of deployment -- the everyday, the extraordinary, the wonderful, the messed-up, the absurd. All correspondence is read, and as much as possible is posted, lightly edited. If you know someone who is deployed who might have something to say, please tell them about us. To submit a post click here.

So, not all of the soldier-poets were in the first two World Wars.

Stay Safe.

Nice!! Tight, clean & evocative. Keep writing.

Beautiful and terrifying - not my usual concept of poetry! However, you have achieved it and it is very memorable and I thank-you for sharing it. God keep you in such circumstances as you write about. You are in my prayers, Adrian.
